Charming and brutal

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

One of my favorite fight scene is when Joyce kicks Agnes between the legs and she falls down in agony and pain. After she recovers she tries to kick Joyce but Joyce quickly reacts and jumps up and knees Agnes in the crotch again and kicks her in her boobs ending the fight.

SHE SHOOTS STRAIGHT is another winner from director Corey Yuen and another instalment in the hugely popular girls-with-guns sub-genre of action films from Hong Kong. This one stars Mrs. Sammo Hung herself, Joyce Godenzi (perhaps best known for her supporting role in EASTERN CONDORS) playing a cop on the trail of some Vietnamese refugees with a fine line in robbery and murder. Godenzi contends with a goofy husband (the likable Tony Leung), a rubbish superior, Sammo himself in support, and lots of jealous female family members.This is very much an action film with the emphasis on the action. There's a whole lot of shooting and chasing going on, and Godenzi shows herself to be up to the job, rivalling the likes of Cynthia Khan at times. The martial arts sequences are kept quite brief but the film has a very fast pace and plenty of violent incident to enjoy. I was particularly delighted to find that Yuen Wah once again plays the villain and burns up the screen with his presence alone. There's a slow fifteen minutes in the middle of the film where everyone wallows in grief interminably, but the rest is thoroughly entertaining.

the film is about royal hong kong police fighting against Vietnamese gorilla(actually thugs and terrorists)a typical silly hong kong action film. the action looks well done..but the story is stupid, inconsistent,contrived just like any other typically bad Asian film.. the acting is hammy ,full of overacting. bad even by hong kong standardthe best of the film is Joyce Godenzi. probably the main interest of viewers is to see her perform many stunt work herself. that overhead kick is marvelous.Joyce Godenzi, although not a good actress seems to be quite "versatile" ..I've seen her play both innocent young girl and sophisticated lady, now it's the action heroine.almost every hongkongese film I've seen is action+comedy+sad story, but this film lacks the fun elements. so,that only makes it less enjoyable. you know comedic situation is a must in hong Kong cinema.just like dance is in Indian cinema.

Corey Yuen's "She Shoots Straight" is not only a good action movie - it's above the average due to the tragic drama/character bits. There is a beautiful scene when a mother celebrates her birthday, not knowing yet that her son was killed by gangsters - some party guests witnessed it, yet nobody has the heart to tell her the sad news. Most genre movies would rather take a break from the action for for a little comedy scene in between. "She Shoots Straight" is one class above that. Anyhow, the story is basically quite simple, about the Hong Kong police fighting gangsters, and after the above mentioned guy was killed, his young widow (Joyce Godenzi), sisters and even his mom (what a great role for an old lady!) do everything they can to avenge him, while his former police colleagues are not a big help. Talking about the fights in "She Shoots Straight", particularly impressive is the violent clash of Joyce Godenzi versus Agnes Aurelio.
